A two-car accident on Oct. 26 resulted in two injuries after a car crashed into a nail salon, police said.

According to police, a 24-year-old woman was driving a 2019 Dodge Charger eastbound on Jerusalem Avenue when it collided with a 2019 Jeep Cherokee driven by a 71-year-old woman. The Jeep was exiting a parking lot, heading southbound toward Ott Lane, and attempting to cross Jerusalem Avenue when the crash occurred.

Following the impact, the Dodge Charger lost control, striking multiple parked cars before crashing into Queen Bee Nail Salon at 1377 Jerusalem Ave., North Merrick. Two employees, both 40-year-old women, suffered minor leg injuries and were transported to area hospitals for treatment. Both drivers remained at the scene and declined medical attention.

No criminality is suspected, though the investigation is ongoing.
